1 MIL-LTVery flexible, flame-retardant, polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubingMIL-LT tubing is a very flexible, low-shrink-temperature, heat-shrinkable product for a variety ofmilitary applications. It meets therequirements of AMS-DTL-23053/5,Classes 1 and 3, and is used forinsulation, identification, strain relief,wire bundling, and color coding. MIL-LT tubing hot-stamps extremelywell. Made from flame-retardantpolyolefin, the tubing has excellentphysical, chemical, and electricalproperties that meet militaryrequirements for highly reliable,general-purpose tubing. Only a few sizes of MIL-LT tubing are required to cover many substrate ratingFull recovery temperature: 90 CContinuous operating temperature: 55 C to 135 CSpecifications*Type RaychemMilitaryMIL-LT RT-1171 AMS-DTL-23053, Cl. 1 and 3*When ordering, always specify latest informationColors StandardBlack, white, red, blue, yellow and greenNonstandardBrown, orange, violet, and graySize selection Always order the largest size that will shrink snugly over the component being packaging On spoolsOrdering description Specify product name, size, and color; for example, MIL-LT 1/4-0 (0=Black).
